Using docker-compose with Podman rootless https://lobste.rs/s/tpxwfe #devops #linux #systemd #virtualization

xdg and d-bus are great and the way to integration and consistency in linux.

I had already played with MPRIS when writing lyricli, which magically gives you compatibility with most music players, but having explored more of it, I’m convinced it’s essential for any app developer to support.

I wonder if apps support d-bus scripting in the same way Mac apps support AppleScript.

NUCLEAR ENGINEER SAYS LATEST RESEARCH CONFIRMS FIRST-CENTURY DATE OF SHROUD OF TURIN

Dear all - I'm starting to bundle up my work on porting mainline linux to the Kindle Paperwhite3 - I've got most of the major features but the install process is complicated.

I'm going to put together a custom linux distro for it - no other ones really fit. I've run into a roadblock as I am struggling with a name. It's going to be based on alpine linux, I want to avoid anything that a*mazon can get grumpy about.

Any ideas for names?

This is the umpteenth time I've tried this, starting with version 1.6.1 😅

Could this be the definitive? I hope 💪

Now I have to config automount for external disk/USB keys and I need to find a way to encrypt my external disk and use it both in GNU\Linux and NetBSD.

GDC (I never tried it on Linux and I didn't find anything online)?
ZFS? Anyone have an idea?

I know I can use OpenSSL or GPG but I think it's better and more confortable to encrypt the full drive...

P.S. I love NetBSD but pkgin is really slow 😅 (It's probably not a problem with pkgin, but rather my Wi-Fi card.)

The state of contacts and calendars in Linux is so bad that I can only imagine only a few people use it for work (excluding developers, for which this scans).

I thought korganize would at least be reliable. It isn’t. Akonadi behaves in ways I don’t understand. Thunderbird doesn’t like editing Google Calendar. I’m going full circle back to gnome calendar feeling stupid for complaining that it was “too barebones”.

The current more reliable sync I managed to set up is vdirsyncer.

I’m not expecting fantastical/cardhop level applications here but this is maddening.

Ah, disappointed to learn that KDE is also going the path of hamburger menus vs actual menu bars, so anything kirigami does not export an actual global menu.

Kirigami apps have the same "mobile inspired" desktop approach that I think sucks on desktop and is the GNOME approach, and increasingly the macOS approach as well.

#linux #kde #kirigami

current status:
⁃ Niri
⁃ Noctalia
⁃ Frutiger
⁃ Haiku Icons
⁃ Light mode
⁃ Qt apps

This is a computer I enjoy using.

Hi all and especially the amazing Linux and more specifically, Linux Mint people who could possibly help me out once again.

As always, the various search engines are coming up with everything I don't need help with.

I have a 2TB external drive which is in 3 partitions. I can see all the existing files and folders. However, I am backing up some music folders onto it and here is the issue. The backed up folders are not visible and after copying IDK, about 20+ folders, I get an error:

Error creating directory /media/rose/WD Passport/Music/BLUES: Input/output error

I tried Disks and GParted to fix but no use. I'm trying to run fsck on it but am failing as it won't accept my bloody password even though I use it all the time (of course!). If I try to re-copy one of the folders I get the usual message asking what I want to do with it (merge etc) and with most, I can then replace/skip etc. So it's sounds like a bad sector or something, hence the disk utils and fsck. There's plenty of space left on it, about 1/2 TB.

Any / all offers of help will be happily put to the test.

Von uns gibt es ein aktuelles Video mit Jean von LinuxGuides!

Was ist eine Linux User Group?

Wir versuchen diese Frage aus unserer Sicht in rund 20 Minuten zu erläutern und zeigen unseren Werdegang auf, wer wir sind was wir machen und welche Motivation uns so antreibt.

Vielen herzlichen Dank an Jean, dass er uns die Möglichkeit gab uns bei #LinuxGuides vorstellen zu dürfen.
